Moving and sorting of objects
Drag & drop is a method for moving graphic elements in a (web) application using a mouse. An item can be dragged and then released over a possible destination.
Drag & drop is one of the most important control elements of the onion.net editor and is used for the following two different purposes:
- Organisation of structure: Changing the order and the nesting of objects in the object tree.
- Linking: Simple placing of links within the rich text editor or for reference fields.
The system gives immediate acknowledgment of a drag & drop operation in all significant places:
- Highlighting of the object
- Visualisation of dragging
- Displaying where the object can be dropped
- Acknowledgment when dropping
